| | Blackhawk Auto Exhibition: 1937 Cord |
 | | The 810/812 design was a radical styling departure characterized by a massive coffin-nosed hood with an integrated wrap-around grille/louver assembly, pontoon front fenders, the first disappearing headlamps (retracted by hand-crank and cable-operated worm-and-sector mechanisms), center hinged doors and lower body sills that eliminated running boards. |
 | | The second generation of front-wheel-drive Cords, the 1936 Model 810 and 1937 Model 812, were designed by Gordon M. Buehrig, who also designed the 1935 Auburn product line including the Boattail Speedster as well as custom bodies for Model J Duesenbergs. |
 | | In June, 1937, race driver Ab Jenkins established a 24-hours-from-standing-start record by driving a Cord Beverly Sedan at an average speed of 79.6 mph at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. |
